Story Revived for the Tenth Time.

A certain captain Baculard left Mar.
settles for China. but being buffeted by
the winds he hauled up in the harbor Of
Tunis to await weather. The collector
of the port came on board. Captain
Baculard represented that he was
freighted for Canton, that he had moth
ing to do with Tunis, and that he only
put in from distress of weather. But the
collector exhibited manifest necessity
that that he should fork over. Captain
Baculard did fork over in a rage, but
instantly repaired to the palace OF the
Bey, demanding justice.
Good Frank" said the Bev. Il am

you want of me?'
"Highness,' answered Captain Bacu.

Excellent individual,n answered the
Bey. I'm this country when we have
the dust we keep it. The original ac-
QUESTION is a difficulty. To fork back
Il thing is unknown in Africa"
"But SHALL not have justice?'
"Certainly, every one has justice in
Tnnis. Will you have il in French or
Tunis fashion?'
''Highness, | have had a lawsuit or
two in France. Justice in French
fashion-God forbid"
''But I don't press it on yon," OBJ
served the Bey. IF you choose the
French after all, l will speak to your
Consul. He loves justice, good man;
three of my subjects applied to him
years ago for immunity, and they will
get it next year, l thin1-for he loves
justice"
French justice, never! Give me the

"Do it then. God is great said the
Bey; what is you cargo.?"
''Marseilles soap and 10000 cotton
caps"

The Bcy summoned the Vizier.
"Nizier,' said he, 'there is no God
but God. and Mahomet is his prophet.
We love justice. We love the Franks.
Proclaim that every Jew who appears
tomorrow out-of-doors without a cot

There are twenty thousand Jews in

The Vizicr appeared.
"Proclaim,' said the Bey, 'that

descendant of Mahomet."
The vizier made a grand salute,
placing his left leg on the back of his
neck, according to the custom of tho

When Captain Baculard returned to

BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS.

citation ProsperinR.
A recent Issue OF the New York Even
ing Post says: 1.-THE extent OF the BUSH
ness done by building aud loan associa-
tions, not only in New jersey, but In
many parts OF New York and in New
England, and the few objections which
have been found to them in practice,
sesm to indicate that q really valuable
use Tor small savings has been found"
Although the Oldest building and loan
associations, those which were organized
in Philadelphia-in 1880. have done their
work for more than half q century and
are successes, the system did not
spread until within a very few years /.
Recently a falling off in the savings
bank deposits of New Jersey, parts of
New York and parts of New England
has been attributed to the large amount
of money diverted from savings banks
to building and loan associations. In
England, in 1886 the cooperative build
ing association of the kingdom had a
capital of more than $3.50 900 600. The
London Times in an article entitled
"Hali a Century of Thrift" speaks of this
notable work as having conferred sub.
stantial benefits.
In Germany similar associations,
called peoples banks, have a member
ship of over l,000, 900 n DO q business
Of more than $40, 0n0 900.
The beginning of building and loan
associations of this country were at
Philadelphia. Experts estimate now
that about ope.ifth OF the houses of
Philadelphia have been built through
these associations and that mu6h of tbs
prosperity and permanency of the popu.
latlon are due to them. There are now
3S4 building associations in PennsyI-
vsnia, all growing and prosperous. In
almost every state of the union new
associations are being organized. Chi
cago has n with assets OF over $1,000,
900. The system has contributed great,
to the building of Minneapolis. There
is o society in Dayton, Ohio having
1865 members and S 1,00l 500 invested In
buildings. In four years il has made
a profit of $500 and Lost $l35. The
Chicago society alone has done a total
business of $1,105. 177 and derived a profit
OF $26S 1853. The losses have been prac.
tically nothing.
The official reports of the state of
Massachusetts, show that the losses of
building associations are almost nothing.
The Haverhill association, after, ten
years experience, finds itself with 500
members, $4,000 invested in buildings
and absolutely no losses whatever.
The profits of 142 associations in New
Jersry. holding $4,000, 600 of assets, were
81, 7O6 .649, or an average of S1s per cent
and this is a county where money is
worth only from four to five per cent In
